I saw an interview on tv with this kid.... Something just didn't feel right about something he said.

I hope he was just a bright, nerdy kid making a clock, but the feeling I got was reminiscent of the balloon boy hoax.....

I don't know this Dawkins guy from Adam, but he seems to have a similar take on this kid as I do.

Richard Dawkins' dubious Twitter form underwent a further mutation on Sunday, with the author claiming Ahmed Mohamed, the 14-year-old Texas teenager arrested last week on suspicion of building a bomb, was guilty of "fraud."

The 74-year-old evolutionary biologist and noted atheist sent out a slew of tweets over the weekend chastising the ninth-grader for not even building a clock. Some observers have dissected the photo police handed out of the device Mohamed built, claiming he just shuffled around clock parts inside a pencil case.

He reminds me of those two Middle eastern dudes that got on a plane right after 9/11 and started joking about hijacking it just to scare the other passengers. Then got all indignant when they got thrown off.
Yep

Richard Dawkins is a dickhead. Even his fellow atheists are all over him on this one. Read the comments.
